Murphy's Questions & Statements

[Admin]

This is where Murphy will address any questions he has for the Final 3 or make any statements he wishes to share.

Oh hai, Final 3. Congrats on making it farther than all of us could have. I'm just gonna dive right in.

Emily

So.... we only spoke 1 time and while it was pleasant, it was only 1 time. I have a hard time awarding my vote to someone who I've barely talked to. Granted, you could argue that it was partly my fault but I'm not the one who needs votes. Why should I vote for you over the other two? Also, what was the biggest move that you made this game?

Henry I have nothing against you, I actually think you're really cool. However, I knew that if it were me, you and Taylor in the finals, you'd crush us all and I wasn't gonna let that happen. Did you actually want an all guy F3? And yeah, you were a challenge threat, but I know a lot or jurors don't care for you. Defend your social skills to me. Do you think having poor skills is viable for a win? Also, if this were a F2 and you could only bring 1 of the girls, who would you pick and why?

Annie You know I think you're awesome, but having read some things I definitely am confused. You said you frequently lied to people the entire merge. Does that mean the round I went home, you knew you were going to vote for me? If so, why didn't you just include me in yours and Emily's plans? It would have been perfect for you, since we both would have been close to you and I was completely honest with you when I said that all I wanted to do was answer jury questions.

All Time to get creative. Based on Survivor, how do you think your character would have done? Not you, the person in your avatar.

Also, how did *I* help you get to the finals?

Finally, in just one sentence, tell me why you REALLY deserve this win.

[annie]

Murphy <333 I love you man. Thanks for the congrats!

No way! I didn't plan to vote you out originally. The people originally thought to be targetted at the beginning of each round never ended up being the target. Things always changed somehow, and you are included in that. I LOVED Mannie, and I loved working as Mannie. I had no intentions of betraying you, nor did I expect to have to do it as soon as I did... But, voting out anyone else would not have worked that round. I think more than anyone else I felt worst of all voting you out, because I knew you just wanted to answer those jury questions. I wanted you to be able to do that, too. Ugh. Murph man. I really do feel awful that you're out But.. there is a way I can make it up to you. Benny boy


If Annie, the character, was on the actual Survivor... I don't know if she'd done quite as well. Unless she had emerged from her shell and taken her destiny in her hands, she would have stayed the quiet UTR girl I was in the beginning. Annie, as many of you probably do not realize, is a lesbian... but she has a lot more insecurities than just her sexuality and a lot of tragedy recently in her life. In fact, Annie changed her last name in honor of a dead love the day before coming into this game. She also suffers with some serious health disorders and I think those would keep her quite withdrawn.


You helped me in this game by becoming the other half of Mannie when I really needed someone, and I know if I hadn't've turned on you you'd still be here. However, if I hadn't, I don't think /I'd/ be here. But you did keep me alive and give me hope.


I REALLY deserve this win because, unlike the other two, I didn't require challenge dominance - which is the only reason these two clicked in the first place - to ever make relationships; in fact, i pulled solely on the social aspect of the game to get where I am and to have the influence I did.




Thank you Murph <33

[murphy]

Thanks Annie! Good luck

[annie]

Thank you, Murphy!

[Emily]

Thanks for the congrats Murphy!

Emily. So.... we only spoke 1 time and while it was pleasant, it was only 1 time. I have a hard time awarding my vote to someone who I've barely talked to. Granted, you could argue that it was partly my fault but I'm not the one who needs votes. Why should I vote for you over the other two? Also, what was the biggest move that you made this game?
I totally understand your point of view, and I would have felt the same if I were in your place. The one thing I wish I had done differently in this game is to talk more to the evil side. It's no excuse, but I'm actually never around in the evenings, and shy, and relied on the things Annie/Henry/Faith said about you, and kind of felt like, yah y'all voted me out in that first round so I'll just stick with those who saved me. These things played a role, but I think I've seen you on a couple of times, and could and should have made an effort to get to know you better, so you can fully blame me.

Why you should consider voting for me. Survivor is not just about surviving by means of challenges and idols. It's also about keeping your fate in your own hands, making moves, finding numbers, and maneuvering yourself in the best possible position at any time. I have shown to have the ability to take control of the game and be one of the two people who decided who went in every round. I had deals with Annie and Henry, and while there was quite a distance between the two of them and while neither of them was fully aware of how close I was to the other, I succeeded in using both connections optimally in order to bring myself and the two of them to the end. Compared to the other two, I think I did a better job in the strategy department than Henry who just had to hope someone would be kind enough to take him further. As for Annie, we made most of our moves together. The one thing I did completely on my own is running to Ingrid and Henry with what Faith was planning, and that gained me a lot of trust with the two of them. That was definitely a turning point in the game.

While I hated the outcome of that move for Faith, I do feel that spilling the Henry vote was my best and biggest move in the game. I went from a position in which I simply followed what Faith wanted to do to a position of power where I had many people trusting me. And even though I was in a great spot, there were always bigger targets in the game, like Henry, you, and Wendy.


All Time to get creative. Based on Survivor, how do you think your character would have done? Not you, the person in your avatar.
I think my character/model would have done quite well. She looks pretty and hot and sexy and flirty. She looks like a city girl, so she might have some trouble adapting to the circumstances of living on a beach/island. I don't think she would have done that well in challenges, but she wouldn't have been the weakest link either. She would have been in the core of a strong alliance and would have made it far relying on her social game, flirting, and ability to win people's trust (since she looks so damn adorable).


Also, how did *I* help you get to the finals?
Well, you almost caused my demise at the Final 12 but later on you did help me getting to the finals.
- At the Final 7, you chose Annie's side over Taylor's/Henry's side, and blindsided Taylor. That was huge for me, since it put me in a better spot within the Good tribe. I never really knew where Taylor stood, but I think both Ingrid and Henry had him quite high on their totem pole.
- At the Final 8, you had a bigger target on your back than myself, and that helped me surviving that round.


Finally, in just one sentence, tell me why you REALLY deserve this win.
I REALLY deserve this win, because I was able to fight my way back from being in a tie vote to being one of the two head bitches in charge to being in the Final 3, made key moves, made happen whatever I wanted to happen, and played the most solid game overall.

[murphy]

Thanks Emily! Good luck

[henry]

Henry I have nothing against you, I actually think you're really cool. However, I knew that if it were me, you and Taylor in the finals, you'd crush us all and I wasn't gonna let that happen.

That was my hope as well I also enjoyed getting to know you. I wish we had both been online more at the same time to get to know each other better.

Did you actually want an all guy F3?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't of taken you to the end either. You might have gotten the evil vote, and I couldn't risk that.

And yeah, you were a challenge threat, but I know a lot or jurors don't care for you. Defend your social skills to me. Do you think having poor skills is viable for a win?

Yeah I dunno. I don't feel like I'm super awful to talk to. Wendy, absolutely so... our convos were all huge trainwrecks but we just weren't even on the same planet with what we were talking about so I really felt like there was nothing I could do. Really though, I got along with most people wonderfully. I'm sorry people who didn't get along with me didn't have that experience. I thought we had good convos, and I got along well with Emily, Ingrid, Annie, and Taylor just fine.

I think I should still win because, even if you didn't love talking to me, you can't say I didn't work my ass off in this game. I was a visible threat all season long and I still managed to get to the Final 3. I hope out of respect of that I can earn people's votes.

Also, if this were a F2 and you could only bring 1 of the girls, who would you pick and why?

I would bring Emily. I wanted Annie nowhere near the end of this game. I would have loved to blindside her with you at six, but you weren't really online enough that TC and Wendy was not listening to anything I was saying at all. I just had to give up and let you go (Tho I still voted for Annie, not you). For some reason, Annie's relationship with me improved dramatically even after I voted for her, and she wanted me in the Final 3 for some reason.

I would have brought Emily because, while she was super loyal, I think I did a lot more in this game than she did.

All Time to get creative. Based on Survivor, how do you think your character would have done? Not you, the person in your avatar.

Annie says my character is a lazy Mexican. Based on that I likely would have gone during the tribal stages of this game because my tribe felt like I didn't contribute enough.

Also, how did *I* help you get to the finals?

Obviously we had our male alliance for awhile, and that helped give me the numbers to vote off Zoe and Faith. I know it didn't last and you turned on Taylor, but without your support we wouldn't of been able to get Zoe and Faith out of the game. Thank you for that!


Thanks dude! Good to hear from you.

[annie]

. For some reason, Annie's relationship with me improved dramatically even after I voted for her, and she wanted me in the Final 3 for some reason.

Can I address this? I'mma address this. You were honest with me about voting for me! Even though I knew it was you, I didn't expect you to flatout say so. I knew your reasoning was BS, but you told me you voted and tried to make up for it, and I knew there was nothing you could do to get me out at that point, so I wasn't worried about you anymore. I didn't see you as as big of a jury threat as Wendy, so, there was no real reason to target you.

Annie says my character is a lazy Mexican. Based on that I likely would have gone during the tribal stages of this game because my tribe felt like I didn't contribute enough

ACCURATE.
